Anjali Ashram as a power-house of the Spirit

Down the centuries, Ashrams have been spiritual power houses and seats of great movements for

Social reform
Cultural Renaissance
Religious Renewal and Vitality
Political struggle and liberation

Anjali Ashram plays a similar role.
Here all are received with 'anjali'.
The Ashram has no gates and makes no distinctions between caste, sex, color or race.
Seekers from all faiths are welcome for a spiritual experience.

Objectives of Anjali Ashram

To Build a truly ecumenical and multi-religious community
To promote a living of an Authentic Indian Spirituality
To Share through Inter-Religious-Ideological Dialogue
To Contribute to building up a truly interdepartmental approach
To work for justice, liberation thrust and community education
To Train and form leaders chiefly from among the laity
To serve people for an alternate life-style

This Vision is formulated, lived and is expressed in the layout of the ashram.

Layout of 10 Acres Campus
	Anjali Ashram is privileged to be able to accommodate as many as 100 seekers at a time for a simple life and God-Experience. The Architecture is simple, modest, utilitarian and aesthetic at the same time. Each building is modeled after a deep spiritual concept, here you will find buildings in the shape of Om, Chinese Yin Yang, Star Shaped buildings and individual cottages arranged in beautiful formations. The Sat Sanga Mantap near the entrance invites the god-seekers to be in harmony with the nature and to be in communion with all, beyond all differences. The Atma Purna Nivas where the ashram inmates live welcomes the Sadaka to become an integrated person. The Sat Cit Ananda Mandir symbolizes the convergence of all religions into the one Reality. On different days, the 3 daily meditations are held at different places within the ashram filled with the holy vibrations of countless seekers.

The Logo of Anjali Ashram
	Anjali Ashram welcomes with anjali (hands with flowers) all visitors as sadhakas (seekers) and as messengers from the other world. It is in Anjali before the Lord through mauna and kirtana throughout the day and the year. The object of our relentless quest in non-stop movement and of our spiritual experience is The Ultimate reality (Sat) which is pure consciousness (Cit) and supreme bliss (Ananda). It is a Trinitatian experience of the Father (held-up palm, abbaya mudra), the Son (held-down palm, vara mudra) and the Holy spirit (the flame between the two). As the Mahamantra AUM resounds in the macro and micro universes (the world and the heart) Anjali ashram is vibrant with Peace (Om Santi) due to the hundreds of persons here in upasana, in the Spirit, on the ground of their being, in stillness and silence!
